This attraction was brilliant - the original incarnation or the ride really did capture the spirit of the original trilogy. While, yes, it wasn't completely unique, by taking two or three sequences out the movies and remaking them for the attraction. But it was just so entertaining, action packed and fun you really didn't care. What I liked about it all was it felt like a single cohesive story (a little too short for my liking), one that pulled you in and made feel that you were in a galaxy far, far away. And even the queue area was terrific. If the ride still existed in this form today it would be dated, no doubt, and would need to revamped. Though the way the video was filmed on film back then, it gave it a certain realistic quality that has been lost in the digital CGI heavy new version. So I'm not sore it's gone, but it certainly deserves to be remembered.
